The Giving Tree Returns to Brighten the Holidays for Our Community’s Children

Spreading Holiday Cheer: How You Can Help Make a Child’s Christmas Wish Come True

The holiday season is here, and with it, an incredible opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children in our three home visiting programs through Healthy Start. The annual Giving Tree program is back and ready to bring joy, warmth, and unforgettable moments to families in our community. Last year, thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, 375 children experienced the holiday they deserve.

This year, there are multiple ways to join in and make a child’s wish come true:
